Hi, I think @matthewfarlymn ‘s solution is what I am needing, but I am not 100% on how to make it work for what I need.
I have a CPT – Events with two taxonomies (event_category) – upcoming & past events.
I am trying to have them listed in order of the event date.
For upcoming events, the one happening soonest first – to the furthest away.
And for past, then the most recent first. Etc..
The thing is, the event date is entered in the post via an ACF field within a block in each post.
My current template only shows the posts if I remove or comment out the
'meta_key' => array( $date ),
Template File: GIST

How can I use the solution above, and integrate it with the template?
I tried dropping it into functions.php, but got an error (had edited to include block name & field).
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
